NOW FOR THE INSIDER BLOGGER STUFF
Soooooo....... Christmas was awesome! And I got a new Digital Drawing Tablet! I am super excited to start working on Digital Art!!!
Thing was, it didn't work :/ like... at all.... So we contacted the online support and they told me I will have to return it because there is probably something wrong with the product. So I am returning it, and getting a /new/ one, if this one works than we are all good! If it doesn't..... Well things will get tricky, but we will address that if it happens! But be looking forward, within the next few weeks, to some digital art!

Well, that is it for now. Hope you had a very Merry Christmas, and to all of you a HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I'm TRYING! Sorta ....

Call me a liar, cause that is what I am... But look how cute I look! I have to be innocent!
I know, I say I will blog and I do for like a day and a half then.... Nuthin'. I'M SORRY!!

I will be honest, I am going to TRY and post more often, because of love the idea of blogging. It just takes so much time... annndddd... I know, I don't have any good excuses. But I will be putting up a sticky note! to help remind myself, and I am going to be posting a lot more picture to my blog now! YAY! But still, I would like to focus on mainly stories and maybe some daily blogging about what is going down in life. So, I reach out to you once more, and urge you to finally take some time to comment and share this blog on your Facebook. Because I am trying to bring it back, ONCE AGAIN!

A new Perspective

As an artist. I am more than just a photographer. When I go somewhere to take my pictures. I become one with my muse. As I wondered through this forest, I walked barefoot, and completely forgot about the world around me. Just focusing in on everything. Looking for my picture perfect scenes. As I stepped over twigs and moss I kept my head low looking for the small things, that no one notices. And it is amazing, the beauty that can be found. Everywhere you go. So as I walked out of the forest, I had mosquito bites on my legs and cuts on my feet and twigs in my hair. But that is what found me, the most amazing beauty.

Something Happy :3

Soft blue eyes staring back at her... She smiles as he reaches out his hand and grabs hers softly then leans in and kisses her cheek. She closes her eyes and leans her head onto his shoulder as he wraps an arm around her...How am I so lucky, she thought to herself. I found the one, I found the love of my life and he is mine forever, and I am his forever. She smiled again and lifted her head to look up at him and whispered softly, I love you so much. I am so happy to be yours.

Tired brown eyes staring back at him... He smiles as she closes her eyes and lays against him, and reaches down to slowly move a stray lock of hair off her face and gently behind her ear. He closes his eyes and leans his head back, as she runs her hand along his arm softly. How am I so lucky, he thought to himself. She is the one, I know I am going to spend the rest of my life with her. I am going to spend forever with her. He smiled as he looked down at her and gently grabbed her hand then whispered and said, My Darling, will you marry me?

An Empty Spot Within Our Heart

We all have that gap within us.
Waiting to be filled.
An empty spot within our hearts.
Where only one can fit.
The one you chose will be yours forever.
So be careful when you make your choice.
Because this will be the person...
Who makes you who you are.
Who makes you happy.
Who you will spend forever with.
...
And I chose you, because I knew.

Anything in the world

He sits down, ready to work on whatever task was set before him. Nothing important, just some games, a book to read, a show to watch, anything to get his mind off of things. He looks down at his keyboard and stops to think, maybe he didn't want to distract himself, maybe, as hard as it is, he wanted to think about it. Think about the past; her smile, laugh, eyes... anything. He leaned back and took a deep breathing, warring with his thoughts. But his mind couldn't stop thinking about her... And oh how she was perfect, just so perfect. Beautiful, my Darling, everything about you is just so perfect, amazing. I would do anything to hold you again, make you feel safe and loved. Make sure you know, without a doubt, that there is someone who cares about you, and cares about you more than anyone else ever could... 

He stops and opens his eyes to see his hands holding onto nothing. His hands completely empty... I would do anything to have you back. Anything in the world. 

"Chains"

She sees nothing. 

Darkness is all around her. 

She squints her eyes to look for any shape or form, but nothing is to be found.

She moves her arms and feels chains on her wrists. 

Chains so heavy she could barely lift her hands above her waist.

She tries to cautiously step forward, and feels nothing but a cold hard floor beneath her feet. So she takes another step and and hears the chains drag behind her, and an echo with every cold step. Alone she walks through the darkness. She closes her eyes and falls to the ground, laying her hands on her knees to rest them. She breaths heavily as a tear streams down her cheek, and she thinks about her Darling. She knew he was waiting for her, he was worried about her... And still she didn't worry about herself or what was going to happen, but only about him. Heart broken, knowing he was lonely and scared. But she would hold out, and she would never give up. Ever. As she took a deep breath, suddenly...

Hers arms are quickly pulled above her head.

The chains tighten along her wrists and she feels cold blood drip down her arms. 

She makes fists around the chains and tries to lift herself up.

She holds on.

And on.

and on...

But her strength escapes her, she is too weak.

She falls, head hanging, hands high above her, arms fully extended. 

She closes her eyes and pictures her Love. 

"He will come for me."

"He will come for me... I just need to wait."

A thousand pictures tell a story..... or was it the other way around?!

Hey Guys. Don't yell at me. I know I have completely left my blog to the slow decay of the internet world... But I am here to wipe off the dust and make it squeaky clean. School is almost over which means lots of free time! So this blog is in need of a good ol' revival. Sounds like a good time for a story does it not? ~hem hem~ Let the story begin.

She's counting on her fingers, "1, 2, 3, 4... 18, 19, 20... 46,47,48,49.... annnnd..... fift-" she pauses half way through her word and stops... "Where's fifty?" she rummages through all the pictures again, quickly counting them one by one again. Puzzled she scrunches her eyebrows and stares down at each photo, "I don't have enough. Every good photographer has hundreds and hundreds of amazing pictures. Why can't I seem to take that many picture?" She taps her finger and looks around the room, "there's nothing to photograph in this stupid room. I've already snapped pictures of the entire yard and I have no way of going anywhere cool... I want to go to Paris and get pictures of painters wearing their berets sitting beyond the Eiffel Tower. I want to go to Egypt and take pictures of the pyramids. Anywhere....But I can't go there, not yet at least." She paused and sighed and looked down at her 49 pictures of random objects around her room and in her yard, then threw them into the trash and slouched back. She stopped and looked down in the trash

"a picture is worth a thousand words" ... not the other way around 

Summer

Life right now is busy, boring and extremely ordinary. There is still over a foot of snow on the ground and school has been kicking my butt. I am so ready for summer. We are hoping to finish school in April............ yeahhhhhhhhhhhhh that probably wont happen. BUT WE ARE GONNA TRY!

It's so nice to be in love

Magical, amazing, perfect... How can one explain love? When you know you love someone, explaining it is impossible, but understanding it is the only thing you can do. Yes, this is another cheesy blog post about love. But how could I help it? I want to sing and dance and run because I am just so happy. I want to shout it to the world and let everyone know. So this is to everyone who has ever felt what I feel. Because it is just so nice... to be in love.

Love Letter

"I always thought I would see you soon again. That we could be together after just a little while. That the struggle would be little and the tears would be few. Then after you left it hit me harder than ever, it would be what felt like forever. I know the pain will end and the love will be there through it all, and our words will be there, though few, to remind us again and again. But sometimes I feel as if it is more than I can handle and that the pain will wear me down to nothing, but you are always there to pick me back up and remind me someday this will end. Perfection seems like a word that cant be used on this world, that it is too far to be grasped and something that cant even be imagined. But I disagree. I know it can be had and someday it will be mine, and we can share it together. So for now I wait for my darling, my one true love, for the day you can sweep me off my feet and give me that beautiful perfection I have been waiting for."

 ~Your Love

Reality

White drawing paper lays flat on the desk, my hands rest against the sides of the paper as I stare down and draw in my mind; I picture a girl sitting alone on a step, bare foot, long dark hair, young, green eyes, and a summer dress. She is looking down at a flower she picked and has thoughtful eyes as she continues to gaze upon her newly found wonder. I grab my pencil and press it to the paper, I stop and I sigh, not knowing where to begin or how to draw it. The idea is there, vivid in my mind, but I can't put my thoughts down perfectly. I want it to be perfect, amazing, well done. When people see it I want them to ask "is that a picture?" and "did you draw that?!" I want them to be amazed and awe struck by the work of my hand to see it and wonder how it was done. I smile as I gaze upon the sheet, getting lost in my own little reality.

Gosh, I haven't blogged in awhile o-o

Gosh, I haven't blogged in awhile o-o
I have a confession actually. I am note sure how much I am really going to blog... I am hoping if everything goes to plan in my future I will be able to post more often in two or three years! Woah. So far away.
Well, sorry for the lack of posts! I am gonna try and blog more often, but this is some hard crap, haha! Well, updates:



YUP! That is everything new! .............................
So really there isnt anything to blog about, but I will try and think of another little story for you guys! Talk to you then! And dont forge to leave a comment below!!

a dog is a girl's best friend

New Photo-Set Out!

Once upon a time there was a wizard, he was a friendly wizard, but one day that all changed and he became evil. This is how it happened: he was riding him broom through a village waving at all the friendly witches and wizards and then a flower flew from the wind, and hit him smack in the face. He swerved out of control and flew around in circles, trying to stabilize himself. He couldn't... He landed on the ground and rubbed his head as he looked out of his now dizzy eyes. The wizard stood up and looked at his broom, broken, completely ruined in pieces. He looked up into the sky and a single tear streamed out of his eye. From then on, he made it his life's goal to throw flowers at people.
the end

what is a writers block o-o

.............................................
HMMMMMMMMMMM
WHAT SHOULD I .....
Hmm
.....
oh.

WATCHING MORE STUFF!

Ok, so recently I have been watching a lot of YouTube video howtos, speed drawings and advise videos, as I was recommended to do by several people.
WHAT I HAVE LEARNED:
1) I watched a video where an artist explained how she realized how her drawings aren't consistent and how she wanted to have her own style, something that expressed her personally. I found this could relate to me a lot. So I didn't go searching exactly, but tried to observe what caught my eye and what didn't... Basically, I found I love realistic drawing,  that are incomplete:
     Ex1: http://serenitystyles.deviantart.com/art/Had-this-idea-o-1-407745822
     Ex2: http://serenitystyles.deviantart.com/art/15-minute-sketch-so-dont-hate-407369507
     Ex3: http://serenitystyles.deviantart.com/art/Drew-this-during-history-class-427264716
I find these more fascinating than fully realistic and complete drawings because this looks more like a drawing, not like a photograph, gives it a unique and artistic flair, I think. But I also love complete drawings:
    Ex4: http://serenitystyles.deviantart.com/art/League-Of-Legends-Morgana-Pencil-Drawing-397023526
I feel this shows more talent but not quite as much creativeness. So basically I like drawing people, and always prefer realistic, even if the reality is warped slightly to add artistic flair such as drawing Morgana, a fallen angle, where she is obviously more than just human, or something small like leaving a small part of the face unfinished or sketched in.

2) Tutorials: Simple drawings about how to draw hair or eyes or other human features and I have been learning to apply this by drawing random people, just for fun, with no reference, and I find it quite a challenge, and I think it has helped me a lot with my drawing skills.

3) Speed Drawings: Really these speed drawings have mostly helped me by giving me ideas and helping me learn angels, highlights, proportioning, and shading at the highest artist levels. I find these videos very usefully in their own unique way, while being entertaining.

From all of this, I mean to say, I am trying to be the best artist I can be, and with your help and my efforts I can help other people with art and do the best art I can and share it with you guys!

woke up. ate chips. went to bed.

l.o.l.

really random fact about myself:
I still remember where and when I first learned what "lol" means
many years ago, I had a teenage friend, she is an adult now... but back then she was a teenager and she was texting someone and I was watching, my very little girl self, and saw her write "lol" and I asked her what it meant. "Laughing Out Loud" she said, I replied with, "But you weren't laughing out loud" so she explained that you basically just say it when you find something funny... Ever since then, I knew what "lol" means.
THE END

Quoting Our Life

Quoting our life:

"There is not a thing more lonely than you not being here by my side"

Motivation

SerenityStyles again, with just a little motivation for other people like me!
I have a dream... I want to become an amazing artist, I want people to know my name and see my art. I want to be a model who people enjoy spending time with as well as enjoy her portraits. I want to take pictures, I want people to see my photography and be amazed, I want go further and get become the best me possible. And I was just listening to a song by +OwlCityVEVO called "Dreams Don't  Turn to Dust" and it made me realize how true that statement is. And I am not going to lie, I am a very motivated person, but even I have wanted to give up. Sometimes it can feel like you will never make it, but the only thing that could ever stop you, is you giving up. And no matter what, if you Always do your best and be patient. Your dreams won't turn to dust. Someday you can do what you love to do! Just, never quit. A thanks to OwlCity for helping me realize this. And a thank you to everyone who has ever supported me and encouraged me to never quit! Wish me the best, and a wish for the best for everyone else chasing their dream!

My new Nikon D50:
Ahhh it was the day of Christmas
Everyone was stirring and running about
They danced and they played
Opened up presents for this special day
Laughed and talked and sang
About how old Saint Nicholas had came
Until finally all the boxes were turned right side out
Everyone smiled and talked about
How much they loved everything that had received
That is when a girl sitting in the middle,
Smiled and tilted her head just a little
Her father had walked just behind the tree
To grab a big bag with no lable or name
In fact, it was just a bag, that looked rather the same
As every other bag that sat about
It must be for her, she had no doubt
She smiled and looked at it slightly
He walked over to her and placed the bag down
"For me? But how could this be?
I have gotten my presents
And am really quite happy
What more could you have got me?"
They smiled and stares as this girl began to tear
all the tissue and wrappings to see what could be awaiting
She opened it up and saw many things
Bags labeled with numbers. 1, 2 and 3
She tore through to see more and more 4, 5 and 6
What would be in-store?
She opened the last one
to see something amazing
a Nikon D50, still in it's casing

Merry Christmas and thank you to my grandma and grandpa for my amazing new camera!
